Mongolian language in Inner Mongolia

There are at least 4.1 million ethnic Mongols in Inner Mongolia, including subgroups like the Chahars, Ordos, Baarin, Khorchin, Kharchin, and Buryats.

Given its intended status that was formally implemented and delimited at a conference in Ürümqi in 1979,[2] the standard dialect has been the object of several grammars.

[3] This includes an eclectic grammar that specifically deals with normative spoken language[4] and which is based on the Chakhar dialect as spoken in the Plain Blue Banner on which the normative Inner Mongolian pronunciation Standard sounds (Mongolian: ᠪᠠᠷᠢᠮᠵᠢᠶ᠎ᠠᠠᠪᠢᠶ᠎ᠠ barimǰiy-a abiy-a) is based.

[7] In Inner Mongolia, an autonomous region to which ethnic Mongols are home, various subjects in elementary and middle schools could be taught in the Mongolian language.

[16][17] The children of inter-ethnic Mongol-Chinese marriages also claim to be and are registered as ethnic Mongols so they can benefit from the preferential policies for minorities in education, healthcare, family planning, school admissions, the hiring and promotion, the financing and taxation of businesses, and regional infrastructural support given to ethnic minorities in China.

[citation needed] It is assumed by most Inner Mongolia linguists and would be on the same level as the other three major dialect groups Khalkha, Buryat, Oirat.

[22] The varieties spoken in Xilin Gol which form a major dialect of their own right and are close to Khalkha[23] are classified as belonging to Chakhar in this approach.
